Almost 3 weeks in

So the winter break is here and I have a little more time to explain what's going on.  As some of you noticed in one of my posts, a couple of weeks ago, I've put myself under the care of Dallas, TX doctor Cyrus Peikari and I couldn't be more excited!  http://texasmd.com/   He's already identified the primary cause of why I've had so much trouble in the past.  Yeah!  It wasn't my fault.  No more personal shame or feeling bad about myself.

In a nutshell, over the next few months to years, I'm going to transform myself.  It's that simple.  I've failed before, but I won't this time.  I have no trouble losing weight.  Loosing lots of weight.  But it always comes back and more.  I finally decided to take a totally different approach.  I'm not concerned with my weight.  Although I'm betting that some may shed off naturally.  I'm more concerned with my overall health.  I'll share some details as I go along...but I'm going to warn you now, I'm going to challenge a lot of your preconceived notions of the path to success.

So, I'm almost 3 weeks in and I'm down about 8 pounds and about 2 inches in the waist.

Here's me preparing breakfast:
And the yummy result!  I feel sooooo deprived.

Until next time!

Restaurant Quality Grilled Salmon!

Tonight we got a gorgeous piece of salmon on the grill.  Make sure to get antibiotic free.  If possible get wild caught.  You can get these 3 lb plus pieces of salmon at Costco or Sam's club pretty reasonably.  A piece like this might cost $25 to $30.  That might sound expensive at first, but keep in mind restaurant sizes are between 3 to 6 ounces normally.  That means you're getting maybe 8 to 12 restaurant portions (or more) which normally would run you $15 to $20 each (or more) in the restaurant.  I steamed up some broccoli to go with it and now we're talking! Check out this beautiful result.  Does this look like I'm starving???? Here's the marinade recipe: This is for around a 3 lb salmon filet.  You can half it if you like. 4 tablespoons lemon juice 6 cloves of garlic minced 1  teaspoon  salt 6 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons Old Bay Soak for a day or two and then grill 3...

Preparing Food Ahead of Time is Key!

Preparing food ahead of time is key!  And you need to make foods you actually like!  And in my case I like grilled burgers so much more than the broiled or fried ones.  So...if it's cold and dark....well it's cold and dark!  DEAL WITH IT!  LOL  And by the way, these are organic and grass fed...just because you should. TIP:  Don't make burgers difficult.  For the best burgers, don't massage the meat (This makes the meat tough).  Just form patties, slightly indented to help keep them flat.  Then, right before it hits the grill, sprinkle the side hitting the grill liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.  Before flipping, salt and pepper the other side.  Best burgers you've had, I guarantee! And the final result.

Welcome 2019! 2018 was a huge success!

I told you guys a year ago, I was going to transform in an untraditional way.  Well, over 40 pounds later, I couldn't be feeling better. Here's some of the highlights of the past year: I stopped doing cardio I go to the gym 3 days a week, but am in and out in under 25 minutes, and most of that is rest. I never sweat at the gym Ate more sweets than I have ever in my entire life Was rarely hungry and often had trouble eating all the food I was supposed to Am over 40 pounds lighter Have more muscle mass than at any point in my life Did my first pullups of my life All my vitals and bloodwork have vastly improved I'm including the link to my time with my doctor during my annual checkup.  As you can see, he surprised me with a sweet trophy to take home! Just wait for 2019.  This is when things are get even more intense!   I'm ready for the couch and I'm ready for my cheesecake! Motto for the coming year:  LAZY, NOT IDLE! ...
